New New New

While I took a hiatus from the blog for a few months I have a lot of new news to report. It is bizarre just how much has changed in my life as of late but all of it has been good and most of it great. As reported, I am now a single lady. While it was difficult I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I also took the plunge and bought a puppy! He is such a handful and training is one of the hardest things I have ever attempted in my almost 23 years! He is worth it though, and once its done it will only be fun with him. Not to mention he is about the cutest thing you've ever laid eyes on... think Boo the Pomeranian only smaller (if that is even possible).
He goes by the name of Kingston and you can learn about him here:

On top of all of this as if these changes weren't enough I decided to be headstrong and go after a new job. While I have been looking since January the beginning of February brought on feverish ambition to finally land something new. I set a goal, the suggestion of my best friend Alex, to have a new job before March 20th. The significance of the date was small but gave me a lot of drive to get it done. And I did! New job was landed on March 15th and will commence on April 4th. Sticking with what I am good at, I accepted another hotel position. A promotion that will come with more responsibility and fun.
I will be working at 2 new properties both are very appealing to me!

W Foshay Minneapolis




Both great properties that exude style and fashion which is much more fitting for my personality. I am elated to be starting something new and to play a more important role!

Just goes to show the opportunities are endless and I can do just about anything!
Next week is my birthday and I cannot wait to celebrate this weekend over sushi with tons of friends!

Things I Enjoy

While I am at work, not slaving away or doing anything strenuous I like, probably like many of you, to stumble on new blogs and musings from fellow blogger minds. Today I found two that I thoroughly enjoyed paging through.

Bright.Bazaar

and

Little Green Notebook

I enjoy paging through the pictures and seeing new inspiring designs. Two I found that I enjoyed were:

This first one is from Little Green Notebook. The ornate mirror is divine and I love the  collection of prints and accessories.

This one is from Bright.Bazaar. I love this bed very Under the Tuscan Sun-esque...Plus as you know, Pink.  


So this is how I am spending my time at work today. Wasting away in the expanse that is the blogger world drooling over these designs and dreaming of the day when I have my own space to express myself in this way.

Have a lovely hump day!

Life Sans Blog vs. Life Plus Blog

I took another LONGG vacation...

I am back with an update. As a single woman these days (not too many hard feelings) the single life is fun again (!) I am working feverishly to find a new job and get a few things established with my life.

As of late my newest obsessions are:
1. Sushi- holy NAMI, just a few weeks ago I discovered my love. If you are in Minneapolis this is a must do-
Nami Sushi
2. Bloody Mary. Never EVER did I think I could enjoy these. But the key is for me, to order more tomato less spicy. My favorite place for this is:
Legends not usually my style but cannot go wrong for a huge $6 bloody with all the necessary fixins..

3. CONCERTS
Galore... I tell ya. I have tickets to a ton of upcoming shows
1. Delta Spirit
2.  Fun.
3. Mayer Hawthorne
4. The Black Keys
5. Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros
6. Foster the People

Couldn't be more excited about any of these shows!!!!!  I also just saw  Bombay Bicycle Club which was phenomenal, along with Lucy Rose and The Darcys.

Other news to share: waiting for my tax return so I can buy a new Hunter purse!

WARM WEATHER awaits us..!

So excited for summer! More posts to come.

If you need a little interior love, feast your eyes on lark + linen her finds are TO DIE!
